Chapter 579: Overbearing Boss Li Who Was Protective of His Wife【2】
The host of the evening exclaimed, “Wait, Director Jin, do you mean to say that screenwriter Du is your wife?”
“Yes.”
Director Jin and Du Juan’s hands were intertwined.
“I have been chasing her for nearly 20 years, and she was finally willing to marry me. I am very happy. My wife is very good, and I want to use the rest of my life to love her so that she won’t regret her choice.”
Director Jin’s words set off a buzz among all the reporters on the scene.
For years, Director Jin hadn’t been married nor had he had a real girlfriend, although there had always been rumors about him.
However, everyone knew that Du Juan had been married and had even had a daughter, although her daughter had died long ago.
Everyone had always thought that they were just good friends, but now they understood that Director Jin had actually been in love with her for a long time.
Du Juan was wearing a custom-made qipao as she stood with Director Jin. Just like a married couple, the two of them smiled gently at the camera.
At the same time, Yan Jun, with Ye Tianxin, walked up to Director Jin and Du Juan.
Yan Jun walked very carefully, for fear that he would accidentally step on Ye Tianxin’s skirt.
Ye Tianxin also was taking every step carefully because of her shoes. Yan Jun was so nervous that he was having a hard time walking at all.
“Director Jin, is this the new Xin girl?”
The host’s words made Director Jin laugh. “No, she is not a Xin girl, she is Ye Tianxin, and the heroine of ‘Red Cherry’.”
Ye Tianxin raised her chin slightly, and her face showed a faint smile.
She looked polite, elegant, and graceful. When facing the reporters’ questions, she was at ease, neither humble nor arrogant.
All the members of the media didn’t hold back from taking photos. Their cameras were aimed at Ye Tianxin, and they kept taking photos frantically.
The four of them walked out together. They took the signature pens from the hand of the host and signed their names on the signature wall.
Ye Tianxin walked to Du Juan’s side and held onto Du Juan’s arm.
“Godmother, you look beautiful tonight.”
Du Juan chuckled. She stretched out her hand and took Ye Tianxin’s hand.
“My Tianxin, you are the most brilliant star tonight.”
There was a long row of steps past the signature wall, but Du Juan’s bad health made it very difficult to climb such steps.
Ye Tianxin and Director Jin supported Du Juan up the steps.
“Godfather, godmother, you two can go first. I’ll go backstage.”
“All right, Tianxin. You’re the best.”
Du Juan made a cheering gesture to Ye Tianxin, and then Ye Tianxin turned around with Yan Jun and went backstage.
Guan Chenxi and Fu Yuzhu were already waiting for them backstage.
Time was running short, but Fu Yuzhu reapplied Ye Tianxin’s makeup unhurriedly. He hoped that Ye Tianxin was going to become the focus of the audience when she went out on the stage.
“Brother Li, I’m so nervous. I have never performed in front of so many people.”
Ye Tianxin felt so nervous that her voice was trembling, and she was afraid that she would sing out of tune, which would be very embarrassing.
“Tianxin.”
Ye Tianxin heard Li Qingcang call her name and raised her face to look at him.
“Yes?”
“You don’t need to look at the audience. You just have to imagine that you’re singing this song to me.”
Ye Tianxin heard what Li Qingcang said, and she didn’t feel so nervous anymore.
She took Li Qingcang’s hand and held it tightly.
He was here for her.
He was by her side.
He was her pillar.
As long as he was there, she would not be afraid of anything.
“Ye Tianxin, get ready.”
Guan Chenxi helped Ye Tianxin to stand firmly on the platform that lifted her onto the stage and checked her makeup for the last time.
Li Qingcang suddenly stretched out his hand, walked to Ye Tianxin’s side, put his arm around her waist, and kissed her deeply.
